RAZOR-STBOP-CONNECTING DEVICE.

Specification of Letters Patent. Patented Apr. 25,1922L Application filed January 28, 1921. Serial No. 440,680.

To all whom it may concern. Be it known that'li, JoHN F. Ennis, a c1t1- zen of the 'United States, residing at Washington, in the District of Columbia, have invented new and useful Improvements in Razor-Strop-Connecting Devices, of which barbers chair or any other chair or object or projection, and this expeditiously and without the necessity of tying the razor, and 1-5 in such manner'that the razor strop may be manipulated and handled-to the best advantage.

I would also have it understood 'th at it is within the purview of my invention to equip.

my novel connecting device in such manner that the same may be employed to "connect one or a'plura-lity of razor stropsto a com mon object.

' To the attainment of the foregoing, the invention consists in the improvement as hereinafter described and definitely claimed;

In the accompanying drawings, forming part hereof V Figure 1 is a perspective illustrating my novel connecting device as properly arranged relatively to a razor strop and the arm of a barbers chair.

Figure 2 is a plan view of my novel necting device per se. I

Similar numerals of reference designate corresponding parts in both views of the drawings. a

The barbers chair 1 is not of my invention and need not therefore be referred to in detail. 7

I would also have it understood that the razor strop 2 may be of any type compatible with the use of my novel connecting device, the strop illustrated being shown as equipped at its heel end with a swivel attachment 3 the outermember of which is'in the form of an eye.

- 'M novel connecting device comprises a flexi l hook 5 on the said strap adjacentto one end thereof; the said hook being preferably, though not necessarily, a safety hook. The

mote from the end portion bearing the hook or other coupling 5 with an opening 6, the

said opening being elongated as illustratedinthe directionof the width of the strap. I would also have it understood that the comparatively narrow 130 F through the aperture 6 without distortion of, 7 v between the portion and the portion ing' I which the aperture 6 is. formed is of rela? i a I p tively increased width -i. e.,comparatively said, portion 7. The portion 8 of the strapf wide, and is provided with a slot;or lengthwise'elongated opening 9 so as to affordtwo strap portions 10- 'adapted to neatly accom modate themselves to'a chair arm or to any strap 4 is provided adjacent to its end re- 5 560. portion 7 of the strap adjacent to-the hook or coupler 5 is of a relative width.i. e, I

other'object to which the 'connectingdevicei isapplie j V p a In the practical use of my novel connectingdevice, the portion 8 ,of'the device is looped about an object such forinstance as the chair arm shown, and the portion 7 is passed through the aperture 6, and is drawn upon so as to render the loop taut on the arm of the chair or on any'otlierobject to which the device is applied, after which the v strop 2 is coupled to the connecting device.

Manifestly the" operation'described may I be quickly and'easily carried out without the delay entailed by tying or the like, and without the liability of marring' the chair arm or other object to which the connecting device is applied. It will also be appreciated that by reason of the flexible character ofrny shown'in Figure 2 is susceptible of being cheaply manufactured so that it is feasible to sell it for a price solow that it will be 100 placed within the reach of everyone. Having described my invention, what I novel connecting device the same is adapted It will further be apparent from the forei going that my novel connecting device as claim and desire to secure by Letters-Patent, is

As a new article of manufacture, a connecting device for razor strops comprising a strap of flexible material and a coupler carried on one end portion of the strap to fasten the same to a razor strep; the said strap being provided with a relatively wide
